If the Artist Trading Card thing has passed you by, this article explains a bit about them, how they came about and how they are used today. There are also 14 lovely examples of cards to inspire you to get started on this pleasant pastime.

If, like me, you are finding it harder and harder to keep track of all the important dates as your family or circle of friends grows, this pretty little birthday book could be the perfect answer. It has 12 pretty pages to store the details of every card needed that month. Made using card, peel off stickers and ribbon.

The first in a 2 part article which features designs based on Alice in Wonderland. there is a pretty cup and saucer card and a top hat - from the hat in the 2010 version of the film. these would make super invitations or birthday cards.

Combining paper punched flowers with the marbled tissue paper gives these cards a feel of wild flowers clinging to a cliff. Those lovely surprises you see on a rocky walk. Even better, the flowers are punched from the trimmings of photos which would be wasted otherwise.
